PUNJABI FILM ACTOR DEEP SIDHU ACCEPTS HOISTING NISHAN SAHIB FLAG AT RED FORT | 28 January, 2021

Following a massive outrage over protestors swarming the Red Fort in Delhi and hoisting the religious Nishan Sahib flag during the farmers’ tractor rally on Republic Day, Punjabi film actor Deep Sidhu admitted the same evening that he was present during the incident. He, however, clarified that neither did he instigate the farmers to march towards the Red Fort nor did he and his supporters remove the national flag. He added that the hoisting of the Nishan Sahib was a symbolic protest against the farm legislation and was not a planned move.
